South Florida Kickball Open Tournament 2010

Hey Kickballers!  Are you tired of playing the same old teams in your regular division over and over again, season after season?  Looking for a fresh challenge on the kickball field? Would your team jump at a chance to play against other competitive kickball teams from outside of your division or home state?

If you answered yes and your team is willing to step up to the plate, then come on down to warm South Florida for the Winter, and get ready for some serious competitive kickball in the 1st kickball tournament of 2010 – the South Florida Kickball Open Tournament!

What could be better than a weekend in warm, sunny South Florida in the middle of Winter? Play in the 2010 South Florida Kickball Open tournament, party with some fellow kickballers, and spend a day or two relaxing on the beach, enjoying the sun, surf, sand & of course, the great restaurants & bars along Ft. Lauderdale beach.

 

Tournament Date and Location

The date of the tournament has been changed from the original anouncement. The South Florida Kickball Open 2010 will now be held in the Fort Lauderdale area at Brian Piccolo Park on Saturday, February 20th 2010. Please take note of the date change, which was made in order to accomodate more teams being able to attend.

 

Tournament Rules and Prizes

The SFKO will be using WAKA 2009 rules for tournament play, a copy of which can be found here.  In addition to any bragging rights, for 2010 there will be a trophy and cash prize (up to $6,000) for first place, and up to $3,000 for 2nd place. A consolation prize of $500 will go to each of the 2 semi-final teams that did not make it past the semifinals into the Championship Final. Exact cash prize amount will depend on the number of teams registered to play in the tournament.

 

About The SFKO Tournament

The South Florida Kickball Open is a national tournament that is open to kickball teams from all over the nation.  It is an open tournament, meaning that a team does not have to be invited nor otherwise qualify in order to take part in the tournament – any kickball team can register to play. In fact, a team does not even have to be part of any official, organized kickball league, national or otherwise. Anyone can create a team and register that team to play. The only requirement is that team rosters are limited to a maximum of 20 members per team, your team must field at least 4 members of each sex, and all team members must be at least 21 yrs or older on the day of the tournament in order to play.

Previous tournament attendees have included natinally-ranked teams such as Tricky Bunnies (FL), Menace 2 Sobriety (DC), Cobra Kai (FL), Hoboken Well-Hungarians (NJ), Riff Raff (FL), Hey Whoa (NY), Balls Deep (FL), Meatballs (FL), St. Loius Big Ballers, Partially Screwed (FL), the MOndays (NY), SuperSkinnies (FL), Team RamRod (NY), Pretty Ligers (FL), Young Guns (FL), Gonzo (VA) and Dumpster Fire (NY), Hangovers (FL) among others. We expect to have even more teams register for tournament play in South Florida in 2010.
